SCOTUS decisions are not law either. They are simply a decision about a specific case from the top court in the land.
Others can site that decision in other court cases, but it isn’t law.
Congress, the legislature, write law based on the SCOTUS ruling, but without Congress acting, it is still not law.
Executive Orders are not law as well. Again, law is written, passed and enacted by the legislature. The Executive branch is there to keep the law enacted by Congress.
And people want to get rid of the Constitution. That’s NOT the problem
The problem is ignoring the Constitution and doing whatever they damn please.
A great example of this is the confusion about term limits. America already has term limits. It is called the two-year election cycle. But Americans seem to think they can wake up every two years, on the Second Tuesday in November, color in a few circles or click a few switches, feed a piece of paper into a scanner, and go back to sleep.
If that’s America’s election system and process, it is not the elected officials who are at fault. It is the average citizen on Main and Broad and Sycamore and more throughout the country.
No matter who wins, NOW your work is cut out for you. You, your neighbor, your friends, your fellow workers and lodge members and everyone (that includes you) need to monitor your elected officials votes – and hold them to their Oath of Office (of course, you need to know what the Supreme Law of the Land says if you’re going to do this. This past week I called my Representative to note he should not be voting on three funding bills at once – that he should vote for each one separately. By doing so, his constituents can monitor his voting record and easily determine if they are following the law.
You see, it’s not the constituents or any group your elected officials should be loyal to. It’s their Oath of Office. AND YOU are the one to make sure he or she is living up to their oath.
If they are not, THROW the bugger out as they are unethical (at best) and a thief and crook.
